Low-pressure area likely to form over Bay of Bengal, may bring rain to Tamil Nadu

• A low-pressure area is expected to form over the southeast Bay of Bengal on Friday, 13 November 2026, and may intensify into a depression by 15 November.
• This development raises hopes for widespread rainfall in Tamil Nadu, which has been experiencing a rainfall deficit in several districts, including Cuddalore, Mayiladuthurai, Thanjavur, Chengalpattu, and Tiruvarur.

Impact & Risks

The anticipated rainfall could help alleviate the ongoing rainfall deficit in Tamil Nadu and replenish water sources. However, the exact impact zone and intensity of rainfall will depend on the track and strength of the developing weather system. Officials are monitoring the situation closely for any potential escalation into a cyclone. Residents in southern and northern districts should prepare for moderate to heavy rainfall, which may lead to localised flooding in low-lying areas.
